https://www.instagram.com/p/B3jRlLJAncB/ For this week's book snap I picked a great example of a published journal, Anthony Sher's journal from the year he created a legendary, award winning performance as Shakespeare's Richard the third.

Wonderfull Woodgate
To say Woodgate is quiet, is to make the understatement of the year, if fishing and lawn bowls is the height of excitement for you, than this is your place.
